Why is Dhanteras on Thu 15 Oct in Baoding?
Dhanteras is on Thu 15 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:39–20:13. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:04 to 20:13.
Dwadashi until 19:08, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:08 to 17:01 Fri.
Trayodashi ended at 17:01; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:08 Thu to 17:01.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Dhanteras puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 19:08 on Thu 15 Oct to 17:01 on Fri 16 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:39–20:13). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
